"Dr. Cathleen Mok is a board certified osteopathic family physician, who grew up in Leominster, Massachusetts. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Boston University, she attended Midwestern University Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. While in medical school, she completed an undergraduate fellowship in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. After graduation from medical school, she completed a rotating internship at Illinois Masonic Medical Center, followed by a Family Medicine residency at LaGrange Hospital. Upon completion of residency, she began her career in a "traditional" Family Medicine practice, where she enjoyed caring for her patients and their families. As her practice grew, so did her family. She had to choose between the demands of a busy practice and needs of a growing family. In order to meet the needs of her family, she transitioned into the field of Occupational Medicine. While different than her true passion of primary care, Occupational Medicine allowed Dr. Mok to learn a new specialty, build upon her procedural skills, and shape her acupuncture practice. In the meanwhile, she continued expanding her knowledge about healthy eating and maintaining an active lifestyle to promote health and prevent disease. While she was able to maintain her professional growth, she realized that her true passion was still in primary care. Unfortunately, she realized that the "traditional" model of healthcare did not align with her view of a physician-patient relationship. In 2019, she learned of a "new" way to deliver healthcare. . . Direct Primary Care."
